FLAP – (Flap System)
A26
The FLAP values represent how far the flaps deflect when
in the NORM, Mid, and Land positions. The NORM
position represents normal flying where the flaps are fully
retracted. The Mid position is typically used for short
field takeoffs and the Land position is typically used for
landing. Refer to the aircraft manufacturer’s specifications
for recommended flap deflections.
1. Put the Flap switch in its uppermost (Normal) position
(no flaps deployed). Scroll to the NORM parameter
next to FLAP on the display. It should be at U100%. If
it is not, select it with the Selector and set it to 100%
or the value that brings the flaps up to their normal
flying position (no flaps deployed) with the Flap switch
in the uppermost or Normal position.
2. Put the Flap switch in the Mid position. Scroll to the
Mid parameter next to FLAP on the display and
select it. Dial in a Down percentage to deflect the flaps
downward the desired amount. The example above,
shows a value of 25% but the aircraft manufacturer’s
specifications should be used to set this value to
achieve the recommended partial flap deflection.
3. Put the Flap switch in the lowermost or Land
position. Scroll to the Land parameter next to FLAP
on the display and select it. Dial in a Down
percentage to deflect the flaps downward the amount
required for landing. The illustration below shows
a value of 80% but the aircraft manufacturer’s
specifications should be used to set this value to
achieve the recommended deflection.
